2812 Taxation Turmoil
Qin lost the right to issue currency, but gave the bank a great opportunity, although the role of paper money was further reduced, and then restored to the era of metal money, but it can give the bank a great opportunity for development, mastering the currency issuance right of a region is equivalent to mastering the economic power of the region, Xiao He is very clear about this, in this way, the bank occupies a great initiative, in contrast, Xiao He is willing to let Yingyu do this can greatly help Wenyang Bank expand its sphere of influence.
However, if this is done, it will damage the interests of the Qin State, and Yingyu is a little worried about this. However, if the role of the state is not reduced, economic development will not be activated, and the only way to achieve greater economic development is to increase the vitality of the individual economy. This is Xiao He's opinion.
Zhao Guo, Handan. Inside a luxury hotel.
"Business reorganization?" The hotel manager looked at the order issued by the Prime Minister's Mansion. The official on the other side also said helplessly.
"Why is that? We're doing well, and there's a lot of things we can do well. The hotel manager asked.
"I don't know about that. It seems that it is because of fire prevention, or the public security situation is too poor, etc., anyway, there are many reasons. The official said.
"But we also pay taxes, so wouldn't that put us at a standstill? Your Prime Minister's Mansion should ensure the development of commerce, not like this. The manager said. He was a little annoyed that a hotel like theirs could pay quite a lot of taxes on the income it brought in in a day. Their business here is still very good. But that's it, the other party didn't know what was going on, and they didn't let them open.
"How unreasonable, unreasonable." The manager starts making calls. Ask how to fix something like this.
Prime Minister's Office. Li Mu looked at the newspaper very easily, and the phone calls from the Prime Minister's Mansion continued. However, Li Mu was not in a hurry at all. Li Zuoche was busy making and answering phone calls.
"Prime Minister, isn't it a little bad to do this?" Li Zuoche asked after directly unplugging the phone line.
"No, no, I've submitted a proposal for a luxury tax. They don't agree, and we have to do it in the name of security. We only check those high-end hotels, as well as places for luxury consumption, and we don't care about other places. Unless they are willing to pay. Or donations, anyway, I only need money, and if I don't solve such a problem, it will be difficult for the development of our Zhao country to continue. Li Mu said.
Li Mu felt that Shang Wen did a very good job in one thing, that is, education, that is, relying on the education system of the Qin State, the Qin people were in a leading position in scientific research, but Li Mu felt that the Zhao State should also catch up. For example, the Koreans are doing very well, and a considerable part of the royal family's finances can be used for scientific research, especially in education, and South Korea's basic education is far better than that of Zhao Guo, Li Mu feels that Zhao Guo cannot lag behind. So in this matter. Li Mu felt that no matter how big the trouble was, it was worth it.
"In this matter, I think, it is better for us to be cautious, after all, a large amount of resources of Zhao State are in their hands. They are the current taxpayers of Zhao State, and if they are offended, I think their taxes will be greatly affected. If they work together to boycott taxes, it could be very bad. Li Zuoche said worriedly. After all, the nobles have a large number of factories and minerals in their hands, which are the main economic lifelines of Zhao's economic development, without such an economic lifeline, it is difficult for Zhao to develop, Li Zuoche is very worried about this, although the nobles also pay taxes, but on the whole, Zhao is out of a state of tax exemption, this large-scale tax exemption makes economic development more favorable. The economy of Zhao is generally good.
"No, the situation is only getting worse temporarily. But in the future, in the future, the situation in Zhao will become worse and worse. Education is a matter of the present, if it is not done well at the moment, how to do it well in the future, and how to develop? Li Mu said solemnly.
"I, Li Mu, just fight. They are not happy to get this money out, although they say, I don't care. Li Mu waved his arm and said.
"This." Li Zuoche was worried.
"If parliament, impeachment." Li Zuoche said worriedly.
"Impeachment is impeachment, it's a big deal to step down, but Zhao Guo's education matter must not be just settled. If Zhao wants to develop, in order to vigorously develop, it must have such a fund. Li Mu said.
"Okay." Li Zuoche nodded helplessly. He knows. Li Mu has already made up his mind. Now there is no way to persuade him to come back.
The House of Lords of the Zhao State.
"This damn Li Mu is poor and crazy. You say, let's make some money, what is it for, isn't it just to eat something good and drink something good? One lawmaker said in annoyance.
"That's right, otherwise, who will make money. If people don't make money to eat well, why should we do it? Drink a little and drink the wrong one. One lawmaker said.
"Hey, guys, I've heard. Li Mu this time. It is to tax the poor people to go to school, and the purpose of the tax is very simple, that is, donations, we didn't do it before, and now people have done it. Another lawmaker said.
"I think it's too bad for us to do this. It's not easy for us to make money, and this mining is a slave. We spend money, and we don't contribute to the smelting of steel and the processing of machinery. A lot of parliamentarians said.
"That's it, why. He Li Mu said that if we levy taxes, we have to pay taxes, which is very unfair. The MP continued.
"yes, yes, I've heard about it. Now, in the name of fire prevention, people have sealed the hotels and places where we consume. This posture, I think, Li Mu is going to be extinct. A chubby lawmaker said angrily.
"What? This fucking Li Mu is doing too much. He's a big soldier, so why should we all suffer with him? His grandmother's. Lao Tzu will impeach him now, remove him from power, and see what will happen to him? A taller councillor stood up and said angrily.
"That's it, why. It's a big deal, let's change this prime minister, and now Zhao's economy is so good, I don't think it may have been developed by him Li Mu alone. I think let's impeach him, impeach him. It's a big deal to change this prime minister. I think this prime minister is the end. The lawmakers shouted angrily.
In the palace of King Zhao, King Zhao was also very puzzled by Li Mu's actions, because according to the proposal for taxation. King Zhao is also within the scope of paying the luxury tax. This made King Zhao feel very inappropriate, and he felt that Li Mu's move was too much of a failure. He also objected to Li Mu doing this.
However, when many people were angrily impeaching Li Mu, some people were very happy, but they were also very calm.
"This stupid Li Mu. It's just a stupid soldier. Guo Kai looked at the news and said with a smile.
"You say, what are we making so much money for? Isn't it just spending more money, trying to be happy, how happy it is. This Li Mu, but he can't get used to such things, doesn't this make people do things extremely? How such a thing does not solve. I think, this stupid Li Mu, this time, if you don't retreat. Guo Kai touched his chin and said. In fact, Li Mu is very willing to come to power as prime minister, after all, he has also done it, and he was ousted from power. He wants to go on now. However, he felt as if he couldn't go up, after all, the election was there. He felt that it was not easy to do, but this was an opportunity.
Guo Kai thought about this. He wanted to try again and come on stage.
Qin State, Xianyang.
"I'm afraid this matter will not be easy to handle," Shang Wen said, looking at the report from Zhao Guo.
"Li Mu's idea is to solve the problem of their education funding, and at first he asked for donations to solve it, but now, it seems that he wants to solve such a problem by taxing." Meng Yi said.
But in doing so, he offended everyone, in such a situation. I think it's a good thing, but it won't be able to go down because of Li Mu's behavior. After all, Zhao still lacks such a thing. Meng Yi said to Shang Wen.
"Well, should we also consider imposing such a luxury consumption tax?" Shangwen asked.
"Nope. I don't recommend it, it's a market economy and we've let it go. It's the market's choice, and if we do it too much, I think it's probably going to be very bad for us, so I don't think we should do that. Meng Yi said.
"Okay. I'm going to give up on that, I'm just thinking about it. Maybe the consumption situation of our Qin State is different from that of Zhao State, and the wealth of Zhao State is unevenly distributed, but Qin State is the same, however, there are more middle-class families in Qin State, and their consumption is more practical, if we rashly levy taxes, it may inhibit our commodity production, which is not good for us. So, this kind of thing, I think, let's forget it. Shangwen gave up on that idea.
The gap between the rich and the poor in Zhao became wider and wider, which led to the situation becoming more and more serious, and in this way, the matter became prominent, although the cause was caused by the lack of education expenses, but in fact, the wealth of the nobles was increasing, while the wealth of the people was getting less and less, and the gap between the rich and the poor was very large. The rich can spend a lot of money to spend, but the poor can only make ends meet, which makes Zhao's social contradictions a little acute, but not enough to cause bigger problems.
Wei State, Great Liang.
"We want to encourage more people to come to Wei to consume. Only consumption can boost the economy of Wei. Zhang Er said with a smile.
"I wonder what Mr. thinks?" The Minister of Finance asked.
"Well, I think, we can introduce the gaming industry, after all, if there are many people, you can do a lot of business, such a business is very simple, almost no cost, I think, such a thing, can definitely be done." Zhang Er said with a smile.
"This. All right. The Minister of Finance said. As long as it can increase fiscal revenue, he believes that there is no need to oppose other things, thinking that it is meaningless to oppose them. In addition, Zhang Er has done very well in economic issues, for example, developing a large number of small and medium-sized factories, which have brought in a lot of tax revenue and provided a large number of jobs. In addition, there are movies, as well as the real estate industry, and the speed of Liang's development is far beyond their imagination, which is almost comparable to Xianyang in the Qin State.
And Zhang Er also felt that he had done a very good job, the area of Daliang was narrow, and the territory they had been attacked and ceded by the Qin State was very large, in this situation, it was obviously unrealistic for them to develop agriculture, in order to boost the economy, they could only rely on the population advantage of Wei to do some labor-intensive industries, such as those small and medium-sized factories, as well as movies, in addition to hotels and entertainment, they were encouraged to consume, they did not levy high consumption taxes. Because it can bring a lot of people, and the flow of people means that their business is doing very well. This is a stark difference from Zhao Guo.
In contrast to Korea's aggressive foreign expansion, Wei's development dilemma lies in its geography. Without external expansion, Wei was naturally unable to complete the primitive accumulation of capital, which limited their actions. This is also the helplessness of the development of Wei.
Qi State, Tian Heng Mansion.
"How's the oil selling?" Tian Heng asked anxiously.
"It's okay, our oil is refined, the consumption is good, and all countries need a lot of kerosene." Lou Jing said.
"Look at this, this is a proposal from the Koreans, I think it's not bad, mortgage our trade tax, so that we can greatly develop our navy, I think, the development of the navy should not only have a navy, there should also be a commercial trade tax. South Korea relied on a large number of merchant ships to develop. Tian Heng said.
"I think this mortgage is still very worthwhile. It didn't affect us very much, so I think we could give it a try. Tian Heng said to Lou Jing.
"That way, South Korean banks will be able to buy a lot of our bonds." Lou Jing said.
"Yes, in that case, we will have a lot of financial funds to spend on our navy." Tian Heng said.
"It's just that, in the future, how we repay, we should also encourage the development of our commerce." Lou Jing said.
"If we can't repay it, it will have a very bad impact on us, and we can't continue to develop our navy like this, so it is still necessary to develop maritime trade." Lou Jing offers advice.
"How do you do that?" Tian Heng asked.
"Cut taxes, encourage them to trade, and expand abroad, like South Korea. I think there are still a lot of opportunities, Nanyang, the West, Nanyang is not a place that the Koreans actually control, and there are still many resources overseas. Lou Jing said.
"Hmm. You're right, I agree with your development, but I think we can agree to South Korea's request at the moment, after all, their funding is of great significance to us, and we need such a fund so much for development. Without such a fund, we can't do anything. Tian Heng said.
"yes, we're going to trade with the Koreans." Lou Jing said. He felt that there was no problem with such a thing as a mortgage tariff. It's just not known how much money they'll end up with. It depends on their actual situation.
Yue's front. Inside Moran's headquarters.
"The situation is very bad for us. The Indians withstood our offensive line, and if we continue to go south like this, we will have a lot of resistance, and for us, we will have to spend a lot more money to break through the Indian line, which is not a situation that we want to see. Moran said.
"yes, it's very bad for us." Meng Ping looked at the sand table and said. The Indians resorted to fortress siege tactics. The salient of the Yueshi people was heavily surrounded, although the Indians were not very threatening to them, their weapons were not good, and they could not pose a huge threat, but the Yueshi people could not break through their encirclement, and the two sides fell into a stalemate, so that the Yueshi people as a whole were still in a stalemate.
"I don't think it's possible for the Indians to do this kind of defensive battle everywhere, and I think we should choose another breakthrough. Then launch an offensive operation, which has already attracted the attention of the Indians, and we can choose another place to attack. Meng Ping said.
"Well, I think what you said is very reasonable, I don't believe it, the Indians can defend against our attack in all places, their idea is very unlikely." Moran said. He also had the idea that it would be more cost-effective to choose a new breakthrough than to launch a larger attack on the original one. Because the initiative is in their hands, and not in the hands of the damned camp people. The situation is still very favorable to them.
State of Qin, General Staff.
"The army has formed a small combat force, and their weapons can become more sophisticated, but the combat objects have become a little ethereal." Wang Jian said to Yang Duanhe.
"Yes, at present, the Qin State mainly relies on foreign countries to fight, that is, we need a large number of client states, and if the Dawan people want to establish their own self-defense army, we can fully agree to them." Yang Duanhe said.
"Well, in that case, we can use them to contain the forces of the Sabbath." Wang Jian said.
"Well, that's still very good for us." Yang Duanhe said.
"It's just that the combat team of our Qin army is much smaller, I don't know if such an army still has combat effectiveness, we must let them maintain strong combat effectiveness, and besides, small-scale battles will not cost a lot, we can let them try." I think the prime minister will agree. Wang Jian said. If the war is stopped, it may be detrimental to the Qin State, because this will greatly affect the combat effectiveness of the Qin army, in this case, it will be unfavorable to the Qin army, as the chief of staff of the General Staff, Wang Jian does not want such a thing to happen.
